A fun idea. But a note from the Github page: At present the only "functionality" is the display of other players locations on the page. That's pretty lame, right? But I'm tired...

Two main arguments for using DLLs were saving disk space and saving RAM. When was the last time you ran out of disk space because of too many DLLs? And nowadays, our RAM is bigger than the disks back then, so that shouldn't be a problem eit

If you're interested in Science Fiction, you might want to read Neal Stephensons 'Anathem'. It plays exactly with your scenario: Scientific groups isolating themselves intentionally from the 'secular' world. Funny enough, their scientists l

I remember reading a comment on Hacker News about Google waiting for 5 seconds before indexing the current DOM. I couldn't find any confirmation for this, other that the current Google Bot, Caffeine, is interpreting some of the Javascript c

That's why I was asking: Checking it out from home and my office showed two different meetups in my region. Either a coincidence or a clever technical trick to get people to participate.

Ars Technica posted an article on the same study with less trolling: http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/08/most-people-in-t... I would love to get some DigitalStrom[1] in my house in order to get some hard data on my personal energy
